« Previous EntriesThe Walk Through!!
Thursday, August 30th, 2007We finished the walk through–and although for the most part everything went well, I have to say–it was kind of a disappointment. I know, now I sound spoiled–but there really is going to be a little more “TLC” required than I originally thought. Now this isn’t normally a problem–I love TLC’ing up my new house–but [...]
Moms Are So Smart!!
Thursday, August 30th, 2007When it comes to medical problems occurring within their families! First with Jake and his shorter leg, leading to his diagnosis of Scoliosis. His case was luckily caught amazingly early, and we have been very fortunate to start some treatments that have literally taken away all of his pain. No, his spin isn’t straight yet, [...]
I’m Claiming A Mulligan!!
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007In the game of golf, a Mulligan is a “Do Over”. I’m calling one on today! Not all of it–but I would certainly like to take a huge portion of it back and try it again. I was up late last night waiting on $1K Tuesday-I know–I vowed I wasn’t going to do it–but I [...]
Tomorrow’s Walk Through!!
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007I just got off of the phone with my mother in law. She is going to come with us tomorrow morning when we go on the “walk through” on our house. We close Friday, so the day before you do the walk through to see if there is anything awry. It will be fun to [...]
The Pit!!
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Today’s packing goal is “The Pit”. Really it’s the back porch that happens to be a covered porch and we have used it for storage for the past 5 years. When a vacuum cleaner breaks–it goes on the back porch. When the couch got to be too big for the living room–it went back there. [...]
My Last Sunday!!
Sunday, August 26th, 2007This is my last Sunday in this house. Really that is a happy thing–we are moving next Saturday–but I tend to be a bit more on the “nostalgia” thing than anybody else I know–so to look around at this disgusting house and feel a sense of morose–that’s just downright sick!! This time next week I [...]
Day 2!!
Saturday, August 25th, 2007We expecting round two of the bad weather today, but it never hit. I’m thrilled! I have never had as rough a night as I had last night! And I’ve been up all night with colicky babies–this was worse! The heat was sweltering and I couldn’t keep my mind off of it. I finally put [...]
Power Outages At The Restaurant!!
Friday, August 24th, 2007With all of the terrible weather yesterday my husband’s restaurant lost power. It was nice because it meant he should get home early because they had to close–but he didn’t get home any earlier at all. They had to purchase 200 lbs. of dry ice to put in the coolers and the freezer [...]
A Little Gripe!!
Friday, August 24th, 2007I have to gripe just a bit!! Last year my (then third grader) son constantly forgot his homework. Many times he would be out the door on his way to school and I would walk into the living room to find his homework. Early on, wanting to save him from the consequences [...]
Dancing Queen–I mean King!!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007Ok–I have to share something kinda funny! Mind you–before we begin–let me just say–no nudity actually took place in the following story!
My kids started school today, and they needed nothing when it came to school clothes, except for some underpants. So we took them and they wanted to try boxer briefs, so I let them [...]
